McGrath's film, which will be hit theaters in
New York and LA in October, stars Toby Jones as Capote, Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee, and Daniel Craig, that bit of Bond-y goodness, as Smith. Also appearing in the
film (and supposedly hating on Hoffman) are an array of stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Sigourney
Weaver and Isabella Rossellini. But here's what I don't get: why
would a Hoffman loss be better for Infamous than a win? It's not as if the movie won't get distribution if he
wins, or something - Warner Independent Pictures already has the rights. And Capote's profile couldn't
possibly get any higher, so the competition won't be anything new. I'm not sure I buy this whole "they want
Hoffman to looooooose!" angle.
